Paddy McGuinness has meltdown on Celebrity Bake Off over colossal cake fail

Paddy McGuinness had a tough time on Celebrity Bake Off which appeared to descend into chaos after his cake collapsed in the oven.

In a clip of Sunday's upcoming episode, the comedian is seen to lose his head a little as he suffers a meltdown watching his cake break down, having to start all over again from scratch.

And the 49-year-old wasn't helped by co-star Coleen Nolan questioning: "What the hell is that?" upon spotting his culinary disaster.

The Mirror reports that Paddy replies: “That’s nice, isn’t it? That’s the encouragement you want. ‘What the hell is that?” As he takes his gingerbread out from the oven, it falls into bits - with some pieces even hitting the floor of the Bake Off tent.

The Top Gear host then appears to swear and goes on to say: “The shaft has collapsed. The story of my life," adding: "No, no, no, no, that’s not good. I don’t know what to do."

With great determination, Paddy recovers the stray pastry from the floor and plops it back onto his work surface. His fellow contestants watch on in horror, with Paddy jesting: "Now listen, they’ll never know. Reset."

Revealing Plan B, he continues: “So I’m going to make another batch. We go again. We do not get stopped by a ginger biscuit.”

Paddy is just one of a whole host of celebrities taking part in this year's Celebrity Bake Off - raising both money and awareness for charity, Stand Up To Cancer. He is joined by Strictly star Ellie Taylor, Inbetweeners favourite Joe Thomas, former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson and Olympic gold winner Tom Daley.

David Schwimmer who played Ross in Friends is also taking part - as well as David Morrissey and Jessica Hynes. Elsewhere, Jay Blades of the Repair Shop, Dragon Deborah Meaden and Aj Odudu also star.

Comedians Tom Davis, Rose Matafeo, Mike Wozniak and Lucy Beaumont, as well as comedian Tim Key and radio DJ Adele Roberts complete the star-studded line-up.

*The Great Celebrity Bake Off is on Sundays at 7.40pm on Channel 4 or catch up on All 4.
